My spy is an action movie by Dave Bautista. I have watched a few movies from dave, but comedy isn’t one. Most of his movies are actions/science fictions. And he always portrays to be 'hard to beat' guy.
In this movie, he is an ex-military officer that works for the CIA. And he doesn’t have a friend, oops he had one, a jellyfish.
The movie is centralized on a criminal called Victor Marquez. There was valuable stuff he had to get from his late brother’s house, and the CIA had to give the task to JJ(Bautista) to get hold of Victor before he gets the stuff. The value is in the brother’s wife house. JJ and Bobbi(a tech woman) started working by planting surveillance cameras in the house. Fixing the camera was a tough one, and it almost burst out, but they eventually succeeded. However, the smart little 9-year-old girl(Sophie) later found out that there were cameras in the house, and she traced it to JJ’s apartment where she caught them. Instead of the little girl to blow(leak their secret) them, she became friend with JJ and threaten to tell her mum about the cameras if JJ stopped following her plans.
Here, I was like, how can a 9-year-old girl control a man as old as Bautista (JJ). Quite a movie! Anyway, she had his secret, and JJ with his partner were there to watch the family, so the plan seemed on point. However, interacting with your target as a CIA agent is pretty bad.
Sophie finally takes JJ into the house to meet the mum. JJ and the mum became friends with a possible plus in it. 😊 This is where the mission got blown. JJ was there for official duty, not to be friends with the family. JJ assistant was not a person to write about. She is a techie funny lady. I could refer to her as a jerk and a nerd. Though she does her tech work well; her responses on matters are always foolish. I laughed severally from most of her scenes.
Another nice scene that I like is when Sophie invited JJ to her school forcefully for a program for families, and friend. Since she had no dad JJ saved the day. In the event, Sophie classmates’ parents and guidance talked about their experiences in things they do. When it got to Sophie’s turn, JJ was invited to talk, and he tried to hide his identity. He said he was a garbage man. The kids started laughing at Sophie. This made JJ feels bad, and he expanded on his past job(military) and a current CIA agent. Many people were wowed, and this shows people judge based on what they hear. Poor perspective!
Sophie and JJ continued their friendship. They had lots of fun. Also, Sofie wants JJ to be her mum companion, and she had to manufacture some lies to hook them up. It worked for her anyway.
The other CIA guys launched an attack on Victor and his boys. They thought he died form the attack. After a few periods, JJ and Bobbi were called off to Berlin, and the CIA Boss fired them. But this did not end the friendship between JJ and Sophie. Immediately they got back to the United State, Victor attacked the house and he tried to make way with a flash-drive packed with sensitive information, and Sophie. JJ engaged with the situation and ended in a road car chase. JJ eventually saved the day as it would happen in almost every movie.
Sophie was alive and everyone was alive except Victor, the bad guy. After this event, the CIA reinstated JJ and Bobbi. JJ and Sophie’s mum became a real lover, and everything was good.
This is a movie for the family. It is a packed action and comedy movie. As I said, Baptista isn’t known for this kind of movie. I think this is more like The Rock type, but Dave Bautista did well here.
I would recommend this movie for everyone and within the rate of 1 through 10, I will give it 7. More than average. The quality is decent, the picture is nice, and the casts are pros.
Thanks for reading
